Item Details
Description
Indian Phulkari Wedding Shawl Odhni, Punjab, Early 20th C. Silk embroidery on cotton. Size: 4'4'' x 9'1'' (132 x 277 cm). Phulkari are embroidered shawls that are made out of cotton and silk in Punjab and the greater region of northwest India and parts of Pakistan. Embroiderers decorate plain-woven cotton fabric with abstract geometric, floral, or figurative patterns, using brilliantly colored floss silk. The makers work from the back of the textiles and use a darning stitch so most of the silk shows on the front. These long silk stitches catch the light in a way that makes monochromatic designs appear multi-hued, which imbues the textiles with a certain fantastical quality.
